Still not a "heavy"

AIRCRAFT WEIGHT CLASSES
a. Heavy. Aircraft capable of takeoff weights of more than 255,000 pounds, whether or not they are operating at this weight during a particular phase of flight.

By ATC definition, the Global is not a heavy. But I don't believe that's what he meant. In the corporate side of things, the G's, Globals and big Falcons are considered heavies.
Many publications refer to them as heavies.

All about perspective...says the Atlas 767 driver who is called the the light twin guy by his 747 counterpart.

Yep. I completely understand what is being implied but was going off the standard definition of aircraft size, not arguing whether mine looks bigger than yours on the ramp in Teterboro or enamored by the amout of "heavy iron" there.

Gulfstream and Bombardier call their Demo departments Large cabin Demo....not Heavy cabin demo.
So to be correct, the original question is..."is GE looking to hire into any of their large cabin aircraft"?

Don't believe so. They recently hired, but haven't heard anything else since the new member joined.

FYI, the GE Flight Department is disposing of all their fixed wing aircraft, aside from a Honda Jet in Europe. They are keeping all their helicopters.
